Artist embroiders her own hand

"Artist Eliza Bennett takes embroidery to an almost shocking level with her work of art Woman’s Work is Never Done.  Through a top layer of the skin in her palm, Bennett sews multicolored thread.  The embroidery pattern resembles a familiar pattern of callouses that develop in hands frequently put to difficult work.  However, beyond its initially shocking impact, Woman’s Work is Never Done also carries a significant socio-political message.  Describing the work in her statement, Bennett says:

“By using the technique of embroidery, traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of it’s opposite, I hope to challenge the preconceived notion that ‘women’s work’ is light and easy.”"

I shouldn't have opened that spoiler, now I'm lightheaded...

That being said I used to do embroidery when I was in Junior High and sometimes I passed the needle with some thread through some callouses on my hands, it doesn't hurt at all, and even if it's normal skin there's a layer where it doesn't hurt.

I just had an inappropriately funny epiphany.

We have a THREAD about embroidered fingers & hands that we are discussing using typing... with our fingers & hands.

 

 

Do I need help?

That is hard to look at. Is that in the category of performance art? I usually don't like that kind of thing and this is just gross.

It's more of a statement piece. Intellectually, I know you can pierce the top layer of skin without feeling pain, but still, just looking at it turns my stomach.
